Author Insight

Victim #1

The Whistle-Blower’s Confession can best be compared to The Pelican Brief meets Silkwood. The story of Karen Silkwood, asserts that she was possibly murdered to prevent her from exposing blatant worker safety violations at the plant she worked at. In the fight against GMOs, there is a casualty that is sadly overlooked….the farmworker. Pesticide use grows heavier and heavier on most American farms, and agricultural workers are the first ones to be at risk. Often times, workers aren’t even warned about the chemicals that they are working with, and do not know they have been poisoned until they start vomiting or have trouble breathing. Their families are also at risk; workers are told not to hug their children when they get home from work until they’ve had a chance to shower and change their clothes. And being that scientific studies on the effect of pesticide exposure on farm workers is scarce, what we see is that workers and their children have suffered short-term symptoms such as vomiting, muscle cramps, skin rashes as well as long term problems such as leukemia, brain cancer, birth defects, nerve damage, and hormonal imbalances. As Chapter 2 starts, Kelley sees a farmworker getting out of a truck. She doesn’t know it yet, but their paths will cross again.

Book Excerpt

The Whistle-Blower’s Confession

The next day, Kelley went to the hospital to speak with her aunt’s oncologist, Dr. Barnes. The hospital was busy with people entering and exiting. As Kelley walked toward the entrance, a blue, Ford pickup truck pulled into the circle drive near the door. She watched as the driver got out and walked around to the passenger side.

He opened the door and helped a frail, weak-looking man out. An orderly rushed over with a wheelchair and helped the man into the chair.

Kelley noticed a badge hanging from the rearview mirror. It read: Novalis. Kelley sighed angrily. Novalis was a chemical weapons company turned bio-tech company. They marketed themselves as the savior to the world's food supply, but she remembered how they got started. They sprayed chemical weapons on American troops and Vietnamese civilians during the Vietnam War.

Tigers don’t just change their stripes, she thought. Corporate propaganda is just white wash that conceals dirt.
